The performances of the optimized tree-type cylindrical-shaped nanoporous fltering membranes with six or seven branch pores in each pore tree are analytically studied. The radius Rb,1 of the branch pore for fltration is normally on the 1 or 10 nm scales. The larger trunk pore is for ...

Reconstructing a pore size distribution of porous materials is valuable for applications in materials sciences, oil well logging, biology, and medicine. The major drawback of NMR based methods is an intrinsic limitation in the reconstruction which arises from the ill-conditioned nature of the pore size distribution problem. Consequently, while estimation of the average pore size was already dem...

Microporous silica materials with a controlled pore size and a narrow pore size distribution have been prepared by sol-gel processing using an organic-templating approach. Microporous networks were formed by pyrolytic removal of organic ligands (methacryloxypropyl groups) from organic/inorganic hybrid materials synthesized by copolymerization of 3-methacryloxypropylsilane (MPS) and tetraethoxys...

Pores with undulating opening diameters have emerged as an analytical tool enhancing the speed of resistive-pulse experiments, with a potential to simultaneously characterize size and mechanical properties of translocating objects. In this work, we present a detailed study of the characteristics of resistive-pulses of charged and uncharged polymer particles in pores with different aspect ratios...

Using pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) experiments, the sizes of the pores in ordered porous media can be estimated from the "diffraction" pattern that the signal attenuation curves exhibit. A different diffraction pattern is observed when the experiment is extended to a larger number (N) of diffusion gradient pulse pairs. Simulations to calculate signal values from arbitrary gradient waveforms are ...

PAPER Snurr et al. Structure–property relationships of porous materials for carbon dioxide separation and capture There is an urgent need to identify porous materials that can efficiently separate CO 2 from mixtures of gases, such as the exhaust of fossil-fuel-based power plants and from impure sources of CH 4 (e.g., natural gas and landfill gas). Recently, researchers have investigated collect...

Investigation of pore system properties of carbonate reservoirs has an important role in evaluating the reservoir quality and delineating high production intervals. The current study proposes a three-step approach for pore throat size characterization of these reservoirs, by integrating core data, well logs and 3D seismic volume. In this respect, first the pore throats size was calculated using...

There is an urgent need to identify porous materials that can efficiently separate CO 2 from mixtures of gases, such as the exhaust of fossil-fuel-based power plants and from impure sources of CH 4 (e.g., natural gas and landfill gas). Recently, researchers have investigated collections of porous metal– organic frameworks (MOFs) with the intent of finding correlations between CO 2 separation ab...

PURPOSE Cortical porosity is a key characteristic governing the structural properties and mechanical behaviour of bone, and its quantification is therefore critical for understanding and monitoring the development of various bone pathologies such as osteoporosis. Axial transmission quantitative acoustics has shown to be a promising technique for assessing bone health in a fast, non-invasive, an...

The mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 was covalently grafted with 3-chloropropyl trimethoxylsilane and then was reacted with [Cr(salpr)(H2O)]Cl, (salpr = N,N'-bis(3-salicylidenaminopropyl)amine) to afford MCM-41 containing Cr(salpr) moiety, Cr(salpr)MCM-41. Powder X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses revealed that not only the textural characteristics of the support wer...
